A member asked:
I need to know what's an actual, easy to understand definition of graves disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The "On" button: The "on" button on the thyroid cells won't turn "off." normally your body tries to keep everything in balance, but in graves' disease, the thyroid cells stay "on" all the time, producing too much thyroid hormone, beyond what your body needs.
